@mhkeller Thanks for the report - this was a dumb regression by me in #2079. I have a fix for this in #2086 and it will be released later today in v1.9.2

@mhkeller v1.9.2 is out now and should be fixed, please let us know if you have further issues with it

Cool that works! Some small usability points:

1. It loads saying Untitled as the name. It would be nice if I fed it a file name, it displayed that
2. It would be nice if it launched with the sidebar open so I could start filtering, grouping etc.
3. Is there any way to get chrome to not have the "this is being controlled by automation software" banner?

I see you have the same problem where if you click on the chromium icon in the doc you get a new window launched. I ran into that here mhkeller/plot#6. I tried to get it fixed in chromium but I was told it was too niche.

The fix I put in to plot is I listen for a new window and immediately close it: https://github.com/mhkeller/plot/blob/07b4b05673d5793e34e20b82dbcc8e19a248af72/utils/launchContextPage.js#L31

Closing this since 1.9.2 fixed the output issue. If you want me to make separate issues for these comments I can or you can leave them here.
